[NiklikesNirvana]

[gianlp100]

great!!!



[TheBlind97]

[cobra10svt]

@4:20 key wardrobe change, lol. nice job

[emil057]

voodoo child

[DreamOn4Evar]

hey, Ben u shred man!

just wondering did u learn civil war thru a slash tabs book, online, teacher, by ear, etc? and how much did ur amp and guitar cost? (im thinking of upgrading)

thnx man, keep it up! :)

[hsummy1]

You totally rock! I don't care if your guitar is the most expensive Les Paul on the planet or the worst knock off. You can play and thanks for sharing.

Have you been signed yet? Playing in a band, putting out your own music? Let us know cause man, you sure can play.

[Thehistoryoflegends]

Nice play man!

You feel the song very well and it shows.

Nice tone and fluid word, keep it up!

[henkyxxx]

very good, keep rocking that axe

[allmeterany]

perfect!

[davfr75]

Hi! what the purpose of your move at 2:10 ?

[jimi0227311413]

@davfr75 It make some sound like a wammybar

[AkisColdplay]

@davfr75

try it on your guitar while holding a chord or something and you will see...

[MerlinBunny1]

@davfr75 He's bending the neck to loosen the strings and deepen the sound for a second.

[molenaar16]

That wat you play on 1:50 to 2:25 minutes is that only the amp or do you use or is that with a pedal that makes that sound?

please response because i want mayby buy this amp to

[BENJAMINLEV84]

@molenaar16 well if i remember right i used slash wah pedal turned on the whole time

[davfr75]

@BENJAMINLEV84 : is the distorsion coming from the pedal, or from the amp.

With this setup, can you get good distorsion with the amp at low volume?

[Metallicafanfrom93]

@molenaar16 i personally think it is obvious he's using a cry baby cry dude....jesus, think before you ask

[AllExcess23]

Whats That Thing U Do: 2:10???

[kingkong7239]

nice gowho ever u are i name you the rock

[Whipko]

awesome

[stratman7000]

hey dide that was an awesome tone. Hey dude You sound soo cool. I like the fact that you let your amp and guitar do the work. Very cool. I see that you have some cool techniques. Hey by the way What Brand is that Les Paul... I am planning on getting one with some Slash Seymour Duncans Zebras HEHE... CHEERS = )

[candyman3108]

Dude you are GREAT !! :D

But can you please post the amp settings,my band and I are playing a gig and we are playing this song,i have the same amp..:D

[Milkshakeguy]

damn, i love this song.... used to listen to it every night when i went to sleep, and i was extremely happy to be falling asleep to one of my favorite songs by my favorite band... and what's not to like about this song? meaningful lyrics, great instrumentals, and an intense feeling to it, especially during the outro.

[GibsonGash]

like your guitar man!! nice playing also!!

[Misiek2106]

MY GOD! Voodoo child intro! 5/5

[MrStavi1990]

best cover on youtube

[AxleCarley]

Nice playing. I thought it was kinda dumb at first when you taking off your shirt until I realized it was about the message. Cool. What's so bad about not have to a Gibson brand guitar anyways? Nothing.

[urabout2getownd]

what wah should i get to closely emulate slashes wah tone? a vox or a crybaby?

[HrJanhaugen]

@urabout2getownd i would choose a crybaby since slash use crybaby

[joydivisionrule]

vox wah its awesome for the price

[spidaman25x]

If you mostly want to play appetite songs then you should go with a vox wah. Im not sure what he used for use your illusion 1&2. But i know that he now uses a dunlop rack wah.

[SSol28]

dude ur les paul has really weird knob placement, might be fake

[TheYeasteatingwalrus]

nope, thats how they all look check out pics online

[bonchie1]

It is a fake. Check the headstock in his other videos. An Epiphone perhaps or an Asian copy.

[beagledragon3582]

It's an Epiphone, but who cares? He still kicks ass.

[pmay222]

id be proud to play that good...superb..

ya cant beat a bit of slash...i like the way he doesnt play too fast...he lets the tone of the guitar and the amp do its job ,instead of overdoing it with too much shred like everyone thinks they need nowdays

[Milkshakeguy]

@pmay222 a good guitarist knows when to keep it fast or slow... fast doesnt always mean good. and of course, Slash meets the criteria perfectly! that's one of MANY reasons he's my fav. :3

[gdaron1988]

good cover!I try to get the wah sound in this song,but i failed,your wah is perfect,but it was easy for xou,with a Slash sign. wah :D

[mrgenius4]

[Hokage178]

yea they r..theyre Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro picups to be exact i have them,theyre amazing

[jaylka]

Your gibson is classic? or Standard with

SD pikup?

[ozzyxyz10]

[Guitarplayer219]

[ozzyxyz10]

thanks for telling me m8 =D

[Shelbones01]

[AdamskiFTW]

not a big gnr fan, but this is awesome

[jamie9999999]

Your a natural.

[Decker695]

i love that line also

[301b0y]

awesome what are the chords for the verse?

[xxStratxx69]

I play EM G D but theres a certain technique where I add some extra fingers to get a more dramtic effect which I cant really explain over YouTube :D

[hitdawg555]

your tone is great for an epihpone!

[sk8borntodie]

best civil war cover!

[atomicfile2]

wat guitar is tht?

[phil88530]

epiphone

[lilhendrix1106]

what pickups you usin dude

[MeaningXOfXFear]

most likely alnico pro 2's

[DuffTheBassMasta]

Man this is really good

keep up the awesome work man

[musicman69290]

its an epiphone

[marc10934]

is this an epiphone or gibson! great playing great sound!

[JazzyDave]

Epiphone...looks like the pickups have been upgraded. I've owned Gibsons and for the money, you can't beat the Epiphones! In fact, many say the new Epis are even nicer than the Gibsons...I play Heritage now!

[DuffTheBassMasta]

just wondering is it better to buy an epipohne then upgrade it or to buy a gibson?

[Vladination]

Epiphones are good for the price and quality, but if you have the money, a Gibson is the way to go.

[JazzyDave]

I personally don't like Gibsons as much as I used to. They're using lower quality woods and their attention to detail has dropped dramatically. The Epiphone Les Paul Customs are killer...and if you're willing to spend a little more, get a Heritage H150!!! They are built in the original Gibson Kalamazoo factory by the ORIGINAL Master Luthiers that built the old Gibsons. They are like Custom Shop Gibsons for half the price if you find one used.

[pokeureye21]

lol voodoo child at the start

[pigluvr456]

thats funny how?

[pokeureye21]

how is it not?

[Decker695]

i love that line too, i say it all the time

[swedenmail]

Great playing!! I guess, that picups are the same as Slash uses, but is this an Epiphone or Gibson? And did you put this pickups in or this is originaly Slash designed?

[BENJAMINLEV84]

Hey thanx SO MUCH for all thos realy great comments!

[jaguarguitar]

[gunsnroses52093]

the term civil war is not meaning that the war itself is civil in manner... but the fact that the war is being fought between civilians so instead of civilian war it goes by civil war... the saying really makes no sense but this is still a great song and you nailed it

[BENJAMINLEV84]

Realy appreciate those realy nice comments

Thanx! (=

[derbat11]

[cuddles103]

I have searched long and hard for anyone on youtube that could do this song justice and omg I found the only person that can. I even saw slash live perform this song and I hate to say it but you may have even bested him on this one. FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

[BENJAMINLEV84]

Lol bested slash at that one xD

i wish dude, thatnx alot dude for that realy

nice comment (=

and thank u all guyz!

[skater270]

i have the same wah pedal as you

and i got 2 questions :)

id like to know your setting on the way pedal plz

and

my slash wah is unbelievable floppy is yours like that too?

[scottishguyiam]

i have the slash wah as well, what do you mean by floppy? if you mean easy to move then you can use the tool that comes with it to tighten it up so it doesnt move as easy, or atleast i think thats what the tool is for, someone that has the zakk wah said thats what his tool is for so i would think this one is for the same thing

[skater270]

by floppy i mean it goes up and down really easily

and i know the zakk wylde wah comes with a tool to adjust the clutch but there was nothing in the box for me ? :S

[scottishguyiam]

did you buy it new or did you get it from someone? there should have been a tool that came with the wah, maybe you could get one from a shop, or even take your wah to a shop thats sell it and get them to tighten it up for you

[skater270]

no i bought it straight from the store and nothing was in it

thats weird because i also asked the guy at the store if it came with something like that and he said he has nevre seen that in a wah pedal so :S

[scottishguyiam]

how long have you had the pedal? you could return it and tell them it doesnt have all the stuff in it, i have had 2 and both came with the tool, its a nightmare when parts are missing from stuff you buy

[skater270]

i bought it tuesday so 4 days ago

i was gonna maybe return it anyways and try the wylde wah for the sole reason it was adjustable clutch

thx for helping me

add?

[ozzyxyz10]

dude how come u dont reply to comments anymore?

[BENJAMINLEV84]

Thanx for such a great comments! ^^

[Mabloop]

AWESOM! lol u changed shirt!! "whats so civil about war anyway?" lol u rock

[GuitarSlash774]

You did this song justice. I liked everything about this video, from the guitar tone to how you performed it. 5 Stars! I am gonna be doing this song soon I think, you should come check out my channel. : )

[dvirman2]
